I think =A34,000 is a tad low, could be trade price.
I've just paid =A35900 for a May 99 in mint condition with 14,500 =
miles.
(Got a bad trade-in on my 18 month Sprint Sport though).
Checking the used bike magazine prices, the price I paid seemed spot =
on.

Applies to all motorised road vehicles
The trip across on the Amsterdam-Newcastle ferry was great - I rolled =
around
a bit (winter waves and beer) but the bike was quite happy down below, =
well
tied down. The weather was so good in Newcastle that I just had to go =
the
short way to Edinburgh - straight over the moors, past the yeehah =
stone* at
the top of the Carter Bar pass and along all the nice twisty bits in =
the
Scottish Borders.
The bike is now stateless - deregistered in Germany, not yet registered =
in
the UK - but according to the dealer in Edinburgh, at nearly 18,000 =
miles
it's apparently high mileage and worth 4,000 pounds cash with three =
boxes,
Genmars, noisy pipe etc. No, I don't want to sell - but my father's =
not at
all happy about a bike being dumped in his garage (he's an ex-doctor
ex-biker and has worked in casualty too much).
I can't believe 18,000 miles since May 1999 is high mileage for the UK =
- -
hey, do you chaps not ride your bikes or something?
Ducking & running,
Neil
* yeehah stone - the one at the top of the hill, right on the border, =

you stand up on the footpegs and yell "Yeehah, I'm back home in =

again!"
